Transporting and storing out-
board motor
EWM02621
WARNING
 USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.
 DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
capacity. Gasoline will expand consider-
ably as it warms up and can build up
pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
hazard.
 Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When
transporting and storing the outboard
motor, disconnect the fuel line from the
outboard motor to prevent fuel from
leaking.
 Never get under the outboard motor
while it is tilted. Severe injury could oc-
cur if the outboard motor accidentally
falls.
 Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the outboard motor
cannot be trailered in the normal run-
ning position, use an additional support
device to secure it in the tilt position.
